QC/QA/BA JOBs

Customer can look at the product early and frequently and makes decision or changes any time

Small projects can be implemented very quickly. But large project is difficult to estimate the development time

The agile process is broken into individual that designers work on

Agile model is considered unstructured compared with water fall model

Error can be found and fixed in the middle of projects

Development process is iterative. The project is executed in short (2-4) weeks iteration. The planning is very less.

Documentation attends less priority like the software development

Every iteration has its owning testing phases. It allows implementing regression testing every time new functions or logic are released.

In Agile testing when an iteration ends, shippable features of the product are delivered to customer. New features are usable right after shipment. It is useful when you have good contact with customers

In Agile process, tester and developer work together.

At the end of every sprint, user acceptance test is performed

It requires close communication with developers and together discuss about requirements and planing.

During this phase, QA team will study the requirements from test point of view to indetify testable requirement. Besides that, QA member will contact with stakeholder (client, Business analyst, developer lead, architect lead) to understand the requirement in detail.

The requirement could be either functional (which defined what software must to do) or non-functional (system performance or security availability)

Automation feasibility for given testing project is also done in this phase.

Identify test environment details where testing is supposed to be carried out.

Automation feasibility analysis (if required).

Test planning

Test plan is also called as Test Strategy. Typically, in this phase, QA manager will determine efforts and cost estimate for the project and would prepare and finalize test plan.

In this phase, QA manager will defined test plan/strategy document for various types of testing

Test tools selection

Test effort estimation

Resource planning and determining roles and responbisilities

Training requirements.

Test Cases Developments

In this phase, test case, test script and test data will be created, reviewed and re-work as well.

Activities

Design test case, test script for automation

Review and baseline test cases and test scripts

Prepare test data if test environment is available

Test Environment Setup

This phase can be done in parallel with test cases development. Test environment setup is critical aspects of testing process and maybe this stage is conducted by developer team.

Activities

Environment setup and test data are prepared in this stage

Understand about architect requirements and prepare hardware and software requirement list for the test environment

Smoke test the build is needed (in outsource company, test lead will do a smoke test, but at product company, developer team will conduct it before transform to QA/QC team)

Test Execution

This phase will be executed by QA/QC team after receiving the smoked build from the developer team. At stage, QC engineer will execute steps by steps for each function. The testing process will carry out based on the test plan. The bugs will be reported on bugs system tracking like JIRA, BUGGILA, Mantis,… Developer team will be notified about bugs and start figuring out and fixing.

Activities:

Execute test cases

Document results and logs defects for the failed cases

Map defects to the test cases in RTM

Retest the fixed defects

Track the defects to closure

Deliverables

Complete RTM with execution result

Test cases updated with result

Defect report

Test Closure

This phase is when ends of the testing process. The QA team will meet, discuss and finalize everything in the testing strategies to find something good for the best practices in the similar future projects and something need taking the lesson from the current testing cycle.

Currently I have seen many companies recruits senior automation testing with competitive salary and a numerous benefits so I am actually interested in on it. But I have no experience about automation, so it’s difficult to promote another position with much high challenges. Besides requiring have many experience years but proficiency of English is also must, especially speaking and writing. To me, I don’t much worry about English speaking, just a bit not confident with Writing.

In future, I would like to change to another company because I want to work in more professional environment with many opportunities than the current one.

Since I have no challenges and opportunities to learn what I want and get the desired position. Although, i have a lot free time to learn, to prepare somethings and to do part-time jobs at the present but It’s not the main goal. I now want to focus on my key career first. On the order hand, having assurance in the career path which helps me get a fixed income to pay for my living’s fee. Therefore, I will pay attention and intention to enhance my testing skills in manual and automation for applying a new chance during in the current workplace.

In addition, I can do a part-time job as tutor – English teaching, one of the most favorite activity in leisure. This job helps me make more money which I save for plans in the next times. Besides that this job also keep pushing me to improve and advance my language skills. To work in the professional cooperation, need me to have enough language ability to adapt.

Back to testing, I am wondering what kind of company to work for? Is this outsourcing or product ones? In fact, I prefer working in the outsourcing company than the product ons due to variable projects. Through that I can accumulate for myself a lot of knowledge and experiences. More than that I have chances to work abroad in the developed countries where many technologies have been invented. Additionally, my CV would be more valuable in interview’s eyes, this makes me easy to get high promotion,such as leader, BA,…

Totally, I should prepare and be ready for any chances come. Temporally, I continue working in the current position then getting essential things.
